Once a Hero

Back of the Book

Taking a bullet meant for someone else made Kent Terlecki a hero in the eyes of his fellow detectives. But Erin Powell doesn't see a brave cop--only the man who put her brother in jail. When the justice-seeking reporter enrolls in the Lakewood Citizen's Police Academy asking some tough questions, she never expects to fall for the sexy sergeant. With her nephew to protect, it's a betrayal of everything she stands for.

Isn't it?

Being wounded in the line of duty is part of being a cop--Kent isn't looking for any medals. Even if Erin acts as if he's the one who did something wrong, they can't ignore what's happening between them. He'll just have to give her the answers she's looking for...and the chance to get to know the real man behind the badge.

Lisa Childs's Bio

Lisa has been writing since she could first form sentences and transfer them to paper with crayon. Born soft-spoken into a big, boisterous family where only he who speaks loudest is heard, she learned early to express herself through the written word.

Her first books revolved around the antics of the family dog until she discovered Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. Then writing mysteries became second nature for the author who arrived in the world on a dark, stormy Halloween night. When she was 11, the local paper interviewed her for a book she had written involving a kidnapping plot.

During the day Lisa is a part-time insurance agent and full-time wife and mother. She has two beautiful daughters who share her love of the written word and a husband who provides loving support with praise and extra housecleaning duty.

When night falls and fog from their 15-acre swamp wraps around their house, Lisa becomes the focused writer, spinning stories she hopes her readers will enjoy.
